[Recap]<br><br>
From Raddok: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Apris 10, ~ 2:26
p.m.<br><br>
Raddok has had too
much, & not nearly enough, time....<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Mournath: [Re:
Action]<br>
Mournath will keep
firing his bow while the giant is at<br>
range, then swap
to spear and shield when the giant makes<br>
contact with the
ship. Again, using the items around him<br>
to gain cover
where appropriate.<br>
GM: Ack. <br><br>

[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Apris 10th,
1636TH]<br>
[Time: 2:26:13
pm]<br>
[Turn 2: Phase
1]<br><br>
Arawn
builds energy for another spell.<br><br>
Z'leyra also in her trance builds the first steps of her<br>
spell to end the
whole situation.<br><br>
Corona
dives and sweeps down to attack the giant once<br>
again but this
time his blasts go wild and he misses.<br><br>
Fremea
from behind the giant fires right at his back<br>
hitting doing 2
points of fire damage on the tough hide.<br><br>
Mournath fires and hits the giant's chest but his tough<br>
hide just makes
the arrow bounce off into the ocean.<br><br>
Pyan
fires again his own bow but the arrow also bounces<br>
off his chest into
the ocean.<br><br>
Arawn
casts a energy shield upon himself. Mae can feel<br>
the hairs on her
arm prickle at the static discharge from<br>
the shimmering
energy gray shield.<br><br>
Kiet
grits his teeth just out of range the giant is now.<br><br>
The
giant rushes forward and ends up only 4 feet from<br>
the ship.
With his left hand he reaches out and grabs<br>
Finn off the deck
and quickly places him inside the net<br>
on his left
hip. To ensure Finn can't escape the bashes<br>
the human squarely
with his fist by knocking his<br>
breath out.
With his right hand the giant roars and<br>
picks a random
targets and selects Z'leyra. The trident<br>
shoots out
straight for her. Being in a trance and<br>
not prepared the
hit is solid on her left side. She<br>
screams in pain as
she takes 31 points of damage. She<br>
is thrown 5 feet
backwards away from her current position<br>
bleeding
out.<br><br>
Zol
Zim is loyal to Ix but when he sees Z'leyra stabs<br>
and probably
killed he leaps forward and runs for the<br>
giant.<br><br>
Z'leyra on her back watches the sky drift by. What<br>
the heck just
happened. Her drum and staff seem to be<br>
missing
somewhere. Did she drop them? She then feels<br>
the pain and
glances down at the huge hole in her chest.<br>
That's not
good. Not good at all. She tries to breath<br>
but the breath is
just not there. At least she can<br>
spot Corona flying
high and proud.<br><br>
Unali
with the gear hooked to her belt and shoulder rushes<br>
for the
giant. She uses the anchor rope as a way to<br>
gain balance and
leaps at the giant. She lands on his<br>
left arm.
With a half second before the giant react she<br>
jumps up to his
left shoulder and stabs the giant in the<br>
neck. She
strikes with both her magical daggers. The<br>
first one hits
doing 10 points. The second one she<br>
activates her
Power Strike enhanced ability on the<br>
dagger and does 10
points of damage with her blade and<br>
25 with the power
strike. The giant roars in anger.<br><br>
Arawn
sees Z'leyra hit. She seems to be moving still<br>
but looks almost
dead. He was going to cast a new spell<br>
but Z'leyra may
need help before then. Arawn moves<br>
quickly toward
Z'leyra<br><br>
Mae
watches as Arawn runs toward the nasty giant and<br>
wonders if the
elves are all mad.<br><br>
Mournath drops his bow and grabs his spear ready to<br>
strike as soon as
he can.<br><br>
Raddok
has had too much, & not nearly enough, time to plan<br>
what he might do
that would have any effectiveness against<br>
such a gigantic
creature. Why, he thinks, if it gets much<br>
closer, just
falling forward could cause it to be able to<br>
strike the ship!
Or cause a crashing wave, which might be<br>
almost as
dangerous, as close as he & the other ship members<br>
are getting to the
stern rails. How long are it's arms? If he<br>
falls forward with
his arms outreaching he could grab the ship<br>
nearly any moment!
Raddok resolutely prepares for the worst &<br>
tries to banish
that thought away.<br><br>
He
feels no special coordination with the other fighters &<br>
feels that Arawn
must have cast his war-enhancement spell at<br>
those who are at
the moment the most useful, that is, the mages<br>
and the flyers
(especially those that might be both), and Raddok<br>
prays to any god
listening that Arawn's spell has been<br>
effective. He is
glad that reinforcements have arrived at the<br>
stern rails &
that the seamen seem as eager to fight as<br>
everyone else, and
can aid in protecting the wheelman.<br><br>
At the
giant gets closer, Raddok he himself cannot damage<br>
the giant very
much, although he can contribute to damage<br>
already done - but
he has now reconsidered his strategy (which<br>
had been only to
attack as best he could). Now he feels that<br>
Mournath &
Z'leyra, now just to his right, might need his<br>
shield more than
his mace in order to continue their plans, and<br>
he moves in front
of them to protect them as best he can,<br>
shield raised and
ready on his left arm, with mace held in his<br>
right, but ready
to reinforce his hold on the shield if needed.<br><br>
Unless
someone orders him otherwise, he's as ready as he<br>
can be, and
he's listening for advice from those now behind<br>
him.<br>
<br>
Raddok
sees Z'leyra fall and rushes to her side. He<br>
stands over
her. If the giant tries to try to attack<br>
her again he'll
use his shield to at least protect her.<br><br>
Brutto
and Zepp both attack the giant's arm before it<br>
moves away but his
arm is so massive it moves up too<br>
high and they miss
their attacks.<br><br>
Dorhak
charges the giant as it stands at the railing.<br>
He is wondering
why the mad woman with the daggers<br>
Unali is on the
thing! He swings his mace but the ship<br>
and the giant are
bobbing back and forth too much and he<br>
misses.<br><br>
Barbosa however does hit the giant in the chest doing<br>
4 more points with
his mace at the damaged creature.<br><br>
<br><br>
[Apris 10th,
1636TH]<br>
[Time: 2:26:16
pm]<br>
[Turn 2: Phase
2]<br><br>
Kiet
yells to Unali to be aware and raises his fists<br>
and shoots two of
his rings right at the giant at point<br>
blank range.
The first hit does 34 points of fire damage<br>
and the second
does 35 points of damage. The first<br>
ring is enough to
kill him. The giant roars in pain as his<br>
tunic and body
explodes in flame.<br><br>
The
giant begins to teeter toward the front right and hits<br>
the railing at
that section of ship and begins to slide<br>
down the side of
the ship. Part of that railing is destroyed<br>
by the sheer
weight.<br><br>
Unali
hearing Kiet's warning and seeing flames erupt all<br>
around her places
both daggers in her belt and pulls<br>
the grappling hook
she grabbed from the locker. She places<br>
it deep inside the
tough hide color of the tunic of the<br>
giant and jumps
left.<br><br>
As the
giant is falling she slams with the help of the<br>
rope attached to
hook into the giant's left hip taking<br>
a couple points of
damage. But the damage doesn't<br>
stop her.
She rappels over to the net on the giant's<br>
hip and grabs for
it just as the giant hits the water<br>
on his right
side.<br><br>
Unali
holds her breath as water slams all around her. As she<br>
grapples for the
net to open it the giant slowly sinks<br>
below the
waves.<br><br>
Unali
is now 20 feet below the wave and she opens the<br>
net to grab the
unconscious Finn. She being a skilled<br>
swimmer releases
the rope of the hook and jets up to<br>
the surface of the
water tying to carry Finn with her.<br><br>
Brutto, Zepp, Barbosa and Dorhak yell and lower<br>
ropes.<br><br>
Fremea
dives with her bow now on her back and helps<br>
keep Finn above
the water as she hovers. Barbosa<br>
then rappels down
the rope being probably the strongest<br>
of the humans and
Unali places Finn around his back.<br>
With help from
Fremea holding Finn to his back the<br>
others pull the
two up.<br><br>
At the
same time Z'leyra watches as Corona dives toward<br>
her. That's nice
she thinks. But she still can't seem<br>
to breath.
Then she notices that pointy eared Druid over<br>
her.
Blocking her view of the beautiful white eagle. She<br>
frowns and sees
blackness.<br><br>
As
Arawn bends over Z'leyra he realizes the damage is<br>
immense.
Probably a hole in her lung. But then he<br>
notices a odd
thing. The energy shield seems to have<br>
stopped the
bleeding? Is that an effect of the<br>
shield or her
heart stopping?<br><br>
Actions?

Update...Friday/Saturday...<br><br>
GM:
Ok. This is bad. :< There are 14 random targets<br>
the giant could've rolled. With #1 being top of<br>
the roster and so forth. I sadly rolled for Finn<br>
and for Z'leyra. First for his net attack with his<br>
hand on Finn (if it was his trident Finn would've been<br>
dead by now). Then for the trident and it was bad<br>
for Z. Only thing that saved her is being a pc. :)<br>
Sorry Alex! Was purely random! Don't kill me!<br>
At least the giant is dead now. So that's a bit of<br>
a good thing eh? I'll get with Arawn on how he plans<br>
to help Z'leyra as this could be a fatal mission now<br>
for her. I can do next update either Friday or<br>
Saturday. I hope we don't lose Finn and Z as Finn<br>
is still in danger himself.<br><br>
A note on the Unali/Hook thing. I actually had this<br>
whole scene planned. I was going to attack do damage<br>
then rappels using the hook down his back. Then do<br>
more damage as the giant would react and try to<br>
squash Unali. Thus the hook thing. So that WAS<br>
planned. But this actually works out as Unali can save<br>
Finn. If there had been no hook and no rappels Finn<br>
might've been lost under the waves. So it worked<br>
out but I was planning on this whole swashbuckling<br>
style acrobatics. :) Since Unali is a acrobat as well<br>
she has the skills do what she did.<br><br>
All this in 20 seconds of time or so. Wow. :<<br><br>
